[QUOTE="bman784"] It seems quite incompatible to some of the people who vehemently argue against its existence in favor of their religion. Again, religion is a very subjective matter. You can't group the concept of God into one little bubble and say that it doesn't conflict, because on many occasions it does. It's your prerogative to believe that God and science are compatible. I'm just pointing out the generalization that one can't provide evidence against God with sceince, because beliefs of what God is vary. LJS9502_basic

I'm not talking about interpretations. People can interpret anything (and everything) wrong....I'm talking about the two dichotomies are not mutually exclusive in and of themselves.

And you are not offering any examples here.

For others to interpret something wrong, you would have to assume that your interpretation is right. Again we see the subjective nature of religion. The two aren't mutually exclusive, but again, the conceptualization of God and religion can differ, thus making the two concepts mutually exclusive by different standards. An example would be any fudamentalist belief asserting that the Bible is an absolutely accurate historical text and anything contradicting it is false.

[QUOTE="bman784"] Right, but that perspective originates from your beliefs. There are other interpretations of God that differ from such compatibility, which is why it's not entirely accurate to say that the concept of God is completely detached from science. You have to consider all perspectives.LJS9502_basic

No. They are not mutually exclusive if one understands the two....no matter what one's belief is.

I did ask for the incompatibilities and you brought up evolution...which is not incompatible.:|

[QUOTE="bman784"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="bman784"] Belief in God conflicts with science in certain belief systems, which would validate scientific evidence used in such an instance. It's hard to make a statement that the concept of a God is completely outside of the realm of science when there are so many interpretations of what God is; some of which are well within the realm of science.LJS9502_basic
Which are? Vague statements say nothing.

There are plenty of beliefs that make assertions related to God that conflict with science. For example, some say that God is responsible for the uniqueness of species, which would contradict the theory of evolution. Some say that God created life on Earth, which contradicts the scientific evidence for abiogenesis. There are a multitude of beliefs on what God's role is. It isn't a concept that exists outside of science in all instances.

Actually a Creator doesn't contradict evolution. Evolution is how we see the species development...but it doesn't rule out a God.:)

[QUOTE="JJ4545"]

If you'd read what I said, you wouldn't have said that. You can stack the odds, through logical analysis of our world, in favour against his existence. You wouldn't prove that he doesn't exist, because, like you said, at the moment, science can't do that, but you would put forward an argument showing that it is unlikely for him to exist.

So, yeah, you're wrong.

LJS9502_basic
Ah no. True science doesn't stack odds for something beyond the realm of scientific properties/discoveries. To attempt to do so would be arrogant, illogical...and unscientific.

You're taking your PS3 as a carry on :| That seems just a tad bit inconvenient. If you absolutely need to have it, just put it in your checked luggage surrounded by clothes.

And now you will tell me why these people are doing that. :lol:

Anti-terrorism drills for the olympics: http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/03/anti-terrorist-drill-reveals-segway-attack-plan-legions-of-emba/

Or just because it's too awesome to comprehend.

I tried smoking once when I was rather depressed, and absolutely hated it. It seems like a pretty unpleasant habit to have, especially given how harmful it is.
